Simply Socks Yarn Company recently received a huge shipment of Regia self-patterning and solid sock yarn, and we're putting it all on sale at 40% off in the Sale Yarn section! The yarn will be added to the Sale Yarn section in a few days- I will post here again when it's all up. The sale yarn includes over 50 different colors of fingering weight sock yarns and 8 different 6-ply (dk weight) sock yarns.
As you might remember from the Fall newsletter, I'm collecting pictures of socks that have been knit by you all using yarn from SSYC. These pictures will be put in a new photo album here on the blog. So if you are interested in seeing your socks in the album, e-mail me the photo, and a description of the yarn, pattern and who you knit the socks for, and I will add it to our collection!
The most recent picture I received (at left), I have to share with you now, because it's just SO wonderful. Don't you think? This is what Janelle, the proud knitter of these Regia socks, has to say about them:
"I showed my yarn stash to a knitting friend who doesn't knit socks and asked her what yarn she liked. She said "you know me, I like blue." I chose this yarn because I love the way it fades from one shade of blue to the next. I used an "any size foot, any size yarn" pattern so the socks are custom fit to her foot. My friend is expecting a baby next month, so I also made a matching pair of baby socks (based on my own baby's foot measurements taken at 3 1/2 weeks!)."
Janelle sent this picture just yesterday, after the baby was born and wearing matching socks with her mother!
THOSE ARE THE CUTEST LITTLE SOCKS I'VE EVER SEEN. MOMMY AND BABY SOCKS THAT IS COOL. I HAVE NEVER KNITTED SOCKS BEFORE BUT HAVE A FRIEND EXSPECTING IN JUNE AND I JUST MIGHT HAVE TO TRY. PAM
